Your problem is not the 0.4 pitch. Your problem is the manual cleaning. Manual cleaning will only remove the solder paste from the surface of the stencil. What's more, manual cleaning will force additional contamination into the 0.4 pitch apertures

Kerryn, It's the first time I hear someone who needs an automated inspection machine to check the cleanliness of stencils. Why not improve on the cleaning method itself. I use ultrasonic batch cleaner. It takes 3 minutes to clean a stencil, 2 minutes

We are a high-mix/low-volume operation and end up cleaning 40 - 50 stencils per day. Does anybody know of an automated inspection system or "scanner" that can check a stencil for cleanliness?

Dave, We have very short runs (less than one hour). We have stencils all over the place waiting to be cleaned. It is too time consuming to scope each stencil to inspect for cleanliness. Do you know of any automated or scanning devices that can ra

Thanks Phil. However, my objective is to identify stencils that are not 100% clean prior to sending to inventory. I want to catch it before the solder paste has a chance to dry and harden in the apertures. Kerry

right again grant, consider the fact that if you spend enough time inspecting the soldered boards/pre-oven and check the BGA solder paste pads before, and clean the stencil regularly and check solder paste dryness, check oven profiles then after chec

I agree with all the previous comments. You need an XRay system with good software capabilities to "clean up" the images, but you also need to interperate the results and training/experience comes into this. Get free trials first on a machine like CR

So, yer lookin' to detect a ~25um glob on the wall of the aperture on yer stencil, eh? Why not wash your stencils before you put them away? That's what we do. Give 'em a quick looksee, then rack 'em, if they're clean. Give 'em anudda looksee befo

Hi Yannick. This is an issue that we are just recently getting into but here is some ifo that I have gathered so far. I have seen/ used 2 different rework machines. The one we have bought is a 'PACE TF2000' which was at the lower cost end of the mar

Steve, You are correct in that X-Ray image of a BGA will not show flux residue. So what? If you are using no clean flux then I would think it doesn't matter if there is some flux residue. Sure if you are reworking a BGA and the operator dumps t
